We used tank treads exclusively in the mid-late 90s. Given, this was for carpet with FRC, but your pushing ability is absolutely unmatched, but your speed tends to be slower, and your maneuverability is arc and circle limited.
We used something similar to the brecoflex treads with very high levels of success. We never slipped a tread after our ~first year using them. You need to be very careful how you design your tensioner and idler and where you place your bogies.
